I worked for Visiting Nurses in Everett from 1986 to 1987 and enjoyed my experience. I helped clients with light housework, preparing meals and transporting them to doctor appointments and grocery shopping.

In 1999 my parents both became unable to live alone as my mother suffered a major stroke and my father had dementia. I spent the next year going to visit and be with them in nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities. I learned a lot during that time.

When I was a young woman, my first husband was a minister and we would go once a month to nursing homes to have services. I always enjoyed my contact time with older people.

Now that I'm older, I understand the need for companionship of younger people. I have arthritis in my knees which doesn't allow me to move at a fast pace but I still feel I can be of help to others. I love to talk to others and also to listen when others need to talk. I think I would do well working with seniors.
